You are entrusted with the care, management and cost-effective use of the Company’s property and you are not to make use of these resources for your own personal benefit or for the personal benefit of anyone else. Passwords are to be kept confidential and use of the computer systems is limited to authorized business purposes, although occasional personal use of the internet, e-mail and voice mail will normally be permitted unless your supervisor believes that this privilege is being abused.
However, in order to protect the Company’s interests – including for example, to ensure that the Company’s computers and voice mail are not being used for improper purposes, such as sexual harassment – the Company reserves the right to review the contents of the Company’s computers, its e-mail system, and its voice mail system. No employee has a right of personal privacy with respect to information that is placed in the Company’s computers, the e-mail system, or the voice mail system.
You are responsible to ensure that all Company property assigned to you is maintained in good condition, and you should be able to account for such equipment. Any disposition of Company property should be for the benefit of the Company and not for personal benefit.
